A Summer to Remember
Camp Paivika’s Summer Program, consisting of multiple sessions from June through August, is packed with morning-to-evening fun! Each day brings new opportunities to play, share interests, make new friends and meet challenges.
Sessions are designed according to age groups and campers will be assigned to a cabin group which most closely matches their age. The camp program and activities are designed to welcome and include all individuals with adaptations creatively applied to ensure that every camper can participate to their fullest potential.
How to Register
To register for camp, complete the brief interest survey. Surveys are time-stamped and registration links are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Camp staff will complete a New Camper Intake by phone for first-time campers.
